This indeed looks very good!
But I still have some concerns regarding high poly and performance

MegaGlest / Why is it worth to play MegaGlest
« on: 19 October 2016, 11:55:29 »
When I saw the new MegagGlest Greenlight video I realized that people like different things in MG. To advertise the game in the future it would be good to sum things up in one place.
I try to collect those things in this thread. (We should also sum up some point which should not be mentioned when advertising)
This is what the game has
- RTS
- Very aggressive and strong AI
- Good singleplayer gameplay vs AI ( offline! )
- Very fun coop fights vs AI
- seven factions ( indian, persian, tech, magic, norsemen, egypt, romans )
- Scenarios ( singleplayer)
- Tons of game content ( hundrets of hours )
( maps, techs, scenarios, tilesets )
- Cross plattform network/online gaming
- Lots of mods available ingame for free
- Very easy to mod
- Tilesets
- Open Source
- Language support in the UI ( but not in the Sounds )
This is what MG does not have, or things MG cannot do so well
- Story ( no there is no story! )
- Adventure ( it has no story and by this the player cannot experience an adventure, but there is an adventure scenario available )
- Campaigns ( MG does not have any kind of campaigns )
- Language specific sound
- competetive Human vs Human fights ( the game can do this and sometimes its fun, but its not its core idea ! Regarding advertising its not really the super highlight I would mention )
- model quality and rendering in general( we all know there are better things out there in the wild, so I would not mention this in the first place )
- Multiplayer Scenarios ( we have them but they are not really used and still have some problems especially regarding security . I would not mention them at this point)

« on: 18 October 2016, 09:22:06 »
It looks like filux already updated the data of MG too, so it should be available in git now. 
If you want to try it, eihter checkout and build on yourself ( https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/Development )
Or try it from here ( you will need data and binary ) :
http://snapshots.megaglest.org/

Ok, that doesn't really work in enemy and allies .....
BUT:
My son already implemented this but its still a pull request at the moment: https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/pull/64
As Resource it uses "produced" instead of static.
Syntax would be like this:
Would this be useful for you?

Gold stone wood are non consumable resources, so we talk about the same 
( btw see my update above )
And if you find out how to do it, PLEASE update the wiki!

« on: 7 September 2016, 09:22:52 »
So you want something that produces non consumable resources ?
Update:
Sadly there is nothing told in the wiki about it, but as far as I remember something like this was done in some mods.
You can look at the military mod ( mod center ) which uses a pump to get Oil. And the there is one of the VBROS mods which uses a pond which poduces "fish".
Maybe not exactly what you want but amybe it helps. BTW if this is not implemented yet and is needed write a feature request here in the forum. ( please detailed with a possible xml example)

Uniform selection is checked in now ( my son did it ) but the data does not use it yet.
https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/commit/74ed3d73bed73bbf3c6586c3e182576a9954ae8e
https://docs.megaglest.org/XML/Unit#uniform-selection
Please test with your own data
Update:
About Tier Flattening
This will not come, I prefer the non flat way as this makes the gameplay deeper
Fighting workers:
Will not come too. This is already possible and was discussed and decided a long time ago ( when the techtrees were made )
If you want "Tier Flattening" and "Fighting workers", I encourage you to take the original data and modify it in a mod.

Indeed, those models look very good!
But take care that there are not too many vertices!
- Obelisk: Only use this ( I asume ) vertice intense model for the destruction, not for the other static models of the obelisk. Those should have only very little vertices!
- The animated desert camp looks very nice! ( I hope not too many vertices too! )
- The sphinx for sure has too many vertices.
- Hint for the snakes: Place a plate under the snakes which is set to unvisible but selectable. This helps selecting those small thin snakes a lot. Maqybe you can make the snakes a bit bigger too, because curently they are very thin and that does not work well with the way MG renders.

These ideas are not possible with current rendering possibilities. And btw what you see in background of the menu is a rendered 3d-Scene, not a picture.
MegaGlest uses plain OpenGL for GUI rendering too so there are no libs or anything yet which can do fancy effects.

a bit on hold, as I have no time at the moment,
Another problem are current bugs, which show up in windows, see here https://github.com/MegaGlest/megaglest-source/issues
Especially those which cause crashes on options screens are bad.

Its not really OpenSource in the usual meaning, you can just access the source code for free. It still has very proprietary Licenses.
